Water Your Worth

While science has proven true on the fact that rainbows are seen as the light moves through a prism, shows the expansion in rain/water and or in the reflection of oil and water… there is only one real answer on why any of that is possible or makes sense -God. God’s creations are not just creation, they are perfect and impossible to replicate – like our blood, breath, the wisdom in trees… everything is so deeply awesome that it is hard not to look at His natural and go, “Wow…” (which is something my boy and I do often).

But! Let’s go back to the beginning of a rainbow, before science tried to make sense of it and way before whatever person satan influenced to pervert it in to a symbol of homosexuality. The rainbow first appeared after the floods with Noah and the Ark and God gave it as a sign of His promise in never flooding the earth again AND His covenant with His people. The rainbow is a bond between us and our Father who is way way way above it all and yet wants to show His love and connection and here is the best part… (!) He doesn’t need rain or water to show you a rainbow although that is typical. I know this first hand also! I have seen a rainbow in the sky that had no rain AND was going vertical instead of arcing. I have found great value in how God has used rainbows with/for me to remind me that He holds His promises and I can rely on Him.

This morning I woke up early and went to feed the cats we are caring for, my son woke up and needed to snuggle me as I did so which made it to where I was not able to dedicate the time I thought for the morning but God still made it special. You see, today is my birth anniversary and while it is just me and my son physically (literally) and with little to use or connect with others on a celebration I started letting go of the excitement that I have always had in celebrating “my day”. I laid back down and let my son nurse and started to breath and give thanks with God when I looked at this light that was coming in to the current room. The room has one window with blinds down with a little rectangle window on top without blinds and it faces to the west. The sun rises on the other side of the house and has no way of shining through this window… unless your’e God. I look at this light coming through on to the wall in front of the bed where I am looking and it is now a large rectangle rainbow! Logically, scientifically there is no way or reason this should be happening but with God it is His way of telling me He sees me, celebrates me and still holds His promise for me. I lay there tired from a very clingy night with my son but not wanting to miss out on any of this moment to connect with my Father and anything He might want to share with me. I love Him! I love how He shows up and how He loves me. I love that He said that He needed me to be part of His world and to raise His son – there is so much emotion in this hour of waking. I used it as a time to pray for others, let little tears roll out of my eyes and of course ask for His presence, wisdom, blessings and provision. As the rainbow started to fade, I also began to allow myself to drift in to a nap…

As I get comfortable(ish) my boy wiggles and pounces on me saying, “I awake!” and so the day begins. [want to help us continue to share blogs and be of service?]

I felt God encouraging me to remind us that the rainbow is special and not to be thrown around or mistreated. I feel so many of us have shied away from rainbow things because we don’t want people to get the wrong idea about us. What would happen though if we took back the rainbow and told the devil that he can’t take that from us? Proverbs 8:13 was opened to me this morning as well – sometimes angels or the Holy Spirit will literally move pages while I sleep for me to wake up to, I love it – wisdom is calling and here is some of her instruction. The way the rainbow has been manipulated is not okay and this is one aspect of obedience to our Father that I am to follow through on with this post.

While the world is getting louder, I want to end with: “Do not be conformed to this world…”. God’s promises for you and His creation is so much greater than anything you might know or the worldly influences might offer. It is time to wake up and celebrate with our maker instead of challenge is work.
